WOW!!! GOD is indescribable. The last few weeks we have had an absolutely awesome time in Canada.. We have met a lot of new people and discovered how awesome the Canadian culture and people are.. GOD has been teaching us all through our journey and has taught us so much through His Word and a lot of different teachings.. Our team has grown so much in this little time and we are teaching each other and learning more and more who we are in Christ.. Our team has been blessed so much and we are so amazed by GOD'S faithfulness...

Short and Sweet for the time being.. Father God is doing incredible things here in South Africa, through Global, through a Fellowship filled with so much of His Love..  It's good.. More later whenever the time may come.. God is Love. 4:8

Relying on God has to begin all over again every day as if nothing had yet been done.  -C.S.Lewis-  My journey with dependence started in our previous country-India. I realized I found it difficult to rely on people to help me with certain things. If I was able to do things on my own I would not need any help from anyone. Another example was that in India the ladies were not allowed to walk alone in the streets. This challanged me so much as I was now dependent on a guy to go anywhere. This frustrated me so much...

So here we are:

Our time in Thailand was great. We arrived in Bangkok and the team split into two groups. One group went to Phuket while the other group went to Takua Pa. I was in the group that went to Phuket and there we painted a kinder garden for two weeks. God provided and blessed us in abundance through many people on countless occasions. During our time there, we did some Bible study on the book of Philippians and it was great to discover Paul’s sacrificial lifestyle and to see how he remained joyful in all circumstances. We also met up with...

When I started with Global Challenge I said: I am giving up a year of my life to serve God and to work for Him. I am honestly sick and tired of that mindset! This is not "just one year". This is part of life. Giving up and over to God is not needed for just one year. It's not like: Wow okay I give up one year and then I can live the rest of my life in the way I have planned. NO! I don't just give one year. I lay down my whole life. It's not just one...

The Lord brought me into the light of a lot of exposure during the course of this past year. And many times I stood in a valley of decision. I had the choice to let the exposure pass me by as an experience that looks cool in my instagram pictures, or I could grab it by the horns and ride it all the way into wisdom canyon. This is a pretty metaphor to describe the sometimes seemingly ugly process we’ve all been in, of struggling with questions and finding their answers. It’s usually a more painful and tormenting process. I...

 

On Wednesday 27 Feb we left for a Zambian village in the middle of nowhere, to far from anything for Paul to even run to. We went to 5 different villages in our 5 different teams.
Our experience at this village was really great.

We all had great food to eat and lots of it...

First, we went to Bethlehem. While living with the Coptic nuns and serving them in Bethlehem our hearts were touched while working in the garden of one of the grottos and serving them the best we could. We formed so many relationships with local people from Bethlehem and could bring clarity to a lot of Christians who had questions about suffering and with questions such as,''What does it mean to have a relationship with Jesus?''  Our time in Jerusalem passed with spreading New Testament Bibles to people from all nations translated in their native language.   We gave a Chinese...
